November 9, 2026
Fulham Palace is inviting visitors to celebrate the festive season with a programme of Christmas events featuring independent shopping, creative workshops and family activities throughout December.
The historic landmark has announced a series of seasonal attractions designed to appeal to all ages, from twilight shopping experiences and wreath-making workshops to a brand-new Christmas tree showcase and free activities for children.
The Palace's Christmas fairs will bring together independent makers, festive food and drink, and live entertainment in the historic surroundings of the former home of the Bishops of London.
A highlight of this year's programme is the Christmas Fair at Twilight on 4 December, offering adults an evening of after-dark shopping accompanied by live music. Visitors will be able to browse handmade gifts from independent traders while enjoying a complimentary glass of prosecco included in the ticket price.
Families are also being catered for with a two-day Christmas Fair on 5 and 6 December. Alongside festive shopping opportunities, visitors can enjoy seasonal refreshments, live carol performances in the Tudor Courtyard and a range of children's activities, including Christmas crafts and badge-making.
For those looking to get creative, Fulham Palace's popular Christmas wreath-making workshops return on 1 and 2 December. Guided by members of the Palace's senior gardening team, participants will use natural materials gathered from the Palace gardens to create their own festive wreaths to take home. Seasonal refreshments are included as part of the experience.
New for this year is the Palace's first-ever Christmas Tree Showcase, which will run throughout December. The display will feature decorated trees created by local businesses, with visitors encouraged to vote for their favourite design.

Children can also take part in the free Letters to Father Christmas activity, writing festive wishes and posting them in a special post box at the Palace.
Ana Coltatu, event manager at Fulham Palace, said: "There's something special about celebrating Christmas in a place with so much history, and we love seeing the Palace brought to life by our local community at this time of year.
"As an independent charity, events like these help us care for this remarkable place and keep it open for everyone to enjoy. The tree showcase is a first for us and we can't wait to see what local businesses create."
Tickets for paid events can be booked via the Fulham Palace website. Advance booking is recommended, as some ticket prices increase when purchased on the day. The Christmas Tree Showcase and Letters to Father Christmas activities are free to attend.
Fulham Palace is at Bishop’s Avenue, SW6 6EA
